ABSTRACT:
The present paper aims to resume, after an intermission of more than 100 years, a generous research subject, well represented on the international and regional scene, but completely out of the spotlight of Romanian historians: the history of the medieval book from Transylvania and its post-medieval destiny. The research perspectives focus on two major directions: on the one hand, the analysis of the historical contexts that favoured the keeping and uninterrupted use of medieval books during the 16th-17th Centuries, on the other hand the study of fragments detached from medieval manuscripts and re-used as materials for the covers and bindings of modern volumes. The destiny of the books, fata libelli, in the interval between their pragmatic use and their transformation into cultural heritage objects during the 19th century, comes forth as a distinct research theme at a national level. The preliminary assessments on this research topic in Romania concern the circumscription of the topic, the review of sources at the disposal of researchers, and also a scrutiny of international research and results.
Keywords: Transylvania, medieval and early modern period, manuscript, printed book, fragmentology
